100 Rays of Hope
The elongated brown parchment is densely decorated with lines representing mountains and red dots representing mineral deposits.
Derived from Pengolotz's excellent drawing skills, this drawing looks complicated, but not too messy.
After Turgong on the throne looked at it for a long time, he rolled up the vein map and put it solemnly in his personal pocket.
This picture is true, and it is not a small mine of little value.
Although not fully surveyed, the few known ones seem to be about the same size, or even richer, than the ones currently owned by Gondolin!
So what does it stand for?
Resources, lots of resources!
The construction of Gondolin is extremely secluded, and the safety aspect is guaranteed, but this is also quite restrictive.
It is impossible to trade with other ethnic groups, it is impossible to spread its territory, and it can only be confined to the plains surrounded by mountains.
Although they are still thriving in various industries because of their inheritance from the blessed land, they are still constrained by narrow resources and cannot fully utilize what Noldor has learned in the past.
However, after the birth of this picture, most of the constraints that caused him headaches were quietly dismantled!
"In less than a hundred years, we will definitely become the richest of all the elven races, and the strongest in military equipment!" Excited, this bold sentence couldn't help blurting out.
In the king's hall, the patriarchs looked at each other when they heard the words.
It was the sixth day after the founding of the city, and yesterday when the exploration team returned, they were completely shocked and stunned, and although their emotions were calm, they were still full of puzzlement.
"How did Garnier do that?"
"He's proficient in surveying? But what kind of skill can allow him to find so many treasures so quickly? ”
……
There was a lot of talk in the hall about this.
In the face of this magical and strange event, the already mysterious Linton monarch seemed even more unfathomable in their hearts.
But no matter what they thought, the truth of this picture has become more and more certain, and the meaning behind it is obvious, and it also fills their hearts with excitement.
It seems that countless riches and minerals, countless resources beckoned to them in the mountains.
Gangdolin was both prosperous and lost, and the whole city was unusually united under the rule of Turgon, and it was even more affected by the whole body.
So this picture is not only a surprise for the king, but also a great gift to the whole of Gondolin!
This is not just known to them, but to all the elves in the city.
So as soon as the news spread, the city was filled with great cheers and joy.
The name Garnier is repeated over and over again, and is even more revered than the first appearance of black ore.
Adults are grateful to him, children adore and wonder about him, and all the elves, big and small, talk about the Charles and all that he has to offer.
They adored and revered, and together they pushed the charr's prestige to its apex in a short period of time.
At this moment, if the charr had a heart, it was estimated that countless supporters would gather with a single shout, and then it would be easy to create the eleventh family of Gondolin.
However, at this time, he didn't pay attention to this matter at all. Instead, I'm still immersed in making gemstones.
In fact, if possible, he intended to give the gift with his own hands, but, as Pengolotz said, he really didn't squeeze in.
Surrounded by a vast area of mountains, he set out half a month early with a few quarrymen who were skilled in prospecting, a cartographer, and a few of his apprentices.
I thought there was plenty of time, but because I walked too deeply, I didn't have time to arrive on time even if I deliberately returned early, so I could only be blocked outside the square by a large group of elves.
Therefore, he gave the picture to Pongolotz to help deliver it, because he valued the gift he had prepared, so he wanted to squeeze into it.
The charr ignored the matter, and went to the lapidary's master's house to study the jewels, and then waited for the holiday to be over to say goodbye to Gondolin.
It's just that this research, by chance, actually led him to find a new usable secret text!
And it works with what I've discovered before!
So in the past few days of being questioned, he was completely immersed in the handicraft, ignoring all kinds of discussions from the outside world.
At the same time, when he was sought after countless times, he still didn't care about it.
Because after many attempts, the production of his new jewelry has reached a critical point.
……
In the crystal clear diamond, three illusory secret texts with intricate strokes are connected and flipped in triangles.
As they turn slowly, the wisps of mist they release are very thick, which makes the diamond polishing work much more difficult.
Sitting in front of the workbench shrouded in sunlight, he had to muster up his energy to keep a close eye on the objects in his hands, and the various tools in his hands were picked up and put down one after another.
Time passed, and he ignored all the voices coming from the outside world, and remained immersed in his work.
During this time, his mother, cousin, and even Turgong had been there, but after observing from the door, they all quietly left.
"Romien is exactly the same as his father, and he can't even take care of his stomach when he works." At dinner, Arityl, who hadn't seen his son come out, muttered lightly, and his expression didn't know whether to be relieved or complained.
"But my cousin is much stronger than my uncle." The upper body is dignified and elegant, but his legs are quietly lying under the long table, and he echoed.
But after saying that, she thought that her uncle had been a taboo topic at home recently, and she couldn't mention it more, so she secretly stuck out her tongue.
Unsurprisingly, Turgun glared at his daughter, and then said to his sister, "If it weren't for such diligence and dedication, how could Garnier have created the knowledge of potions?" It is even more impossible to gain the recognition of so many people at such a young age. Yi Ruixi, I can understand your feelings, but sometimes you don't always dwell too much on him, you must know that appropriate love will bring children a positive feeling and mood, but excessive spoiling will only provoke ...... For example, every time you eat, you have to ...... It's just nothing ......."
The nagging words provoked Arettir, who had been listening patiently at first, to frown more and more, and finally simply glared at his brother without saying a word. was a little aggrieved, but he was subconsciously ignored by these words and the name that his niece said before.
……
While they were talking "warmly", the charr in the workshop had finished the final polishing process.
After wiping the surface of the diamond with a white handkerchief, he began to examine it carefully.
The diamond in his hand is similar to the one he made last time, but the secret contained inside is different.
A white "flame" with a hint of gold veins flickered inside the diamond, appearing and disappearing.
Every time it flashes, it can bring out a piece of brilliant light radiation, and every time it converges, it can also silently absorb a piece of external light and return.
Contraction, release, and so on, like a beating heart.
It looks similar to the previous one, but the performance is not quite the same.
Actually, though, it's not that simple.
After a few glances, Charles got up from his chair and walked to his desk in the corner of the workshop.
Pull open the desk drawer and you'll see a full load of jewels.
Ruby, sapphire, agate, purple diamond......
The colourful jewellery represents the countless pieces he has produced during this time, and these pieces are expensive and beautiful items when taken out alone.
However, at this time, he was randomly piled together.
After a few glances, Charles placed the diamond in his hand in the center of the pile of jewels, and a miracle happened.
When the diamond radiated outward again, the light it emitted did not really diffuse, but was absorbed by the gems in the drawer as if it were substance.
So much so that the original thorough drawer of ordinary gemstones, each of them quietly bloomed with sporadic brilliance.
At first, this brilliance is inconspicuous, like the reflection of a star in a lake that sways on the surface of the water.
However, as the strange diamond continues to "beat" and the halo is impregnated, the light contained in each gemstone is more and more, and it is getting brighter and brighter!
As a result, the drawers fill the chest with a dazzling sheen that illuminates the entire workshop.
A large amount of bright light dispelled the shadows, and the slightly cluttered workshop became bright.
……
According to the Chronicle of Beleriand,
In the year 360, the legendary treasure of Garnier, was born from Gondolim.
……
Later chronicles were constantly supplemented and revised, so that this concise sentence was later supplemented with another paragraph—
The light of Garnir is dim and cloudy compared to the Elven Diamond born from the Blessed Lands, but its brilliance continues to multiply and endure for the benefit of countless suffering people who have fallen into darkness in despair.
Spread light and bring hope.
As a result, Carnir was called Estaire, also known as the Light of Hope.
